The beautiful cedar wrap around deck offers multiple seating areas and the stone patio is another area to entertain. 3-season porch is the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or glass of wine. The private yard is stunning with easy-to-maintain gardens that include flowers of all kinds, ready to be cut to bring indoors. Fabulous neighborhood! Walking distance to see performances at the Quick Center for the Arts at Fairfield University. Steps to Grasmere playground & Gould Manor Park with tennis, pickleball, baseball & basketball.
